    Thats the load I hunt with for whitetail deer with my Ruger Super Redhawk using 240 grain XTPs. Does a great job and is really accurate.

    I have gone 100% lizard litter and have a tip.

    Haven't used any of the Lizard Litter yet. What does it run in costs compared to walnut?

    Does Anyone Use WW296 Anymore?

    I use 23 grains of W296 under 240 grain XTPs in my Super Redhawk 44 mag with 9 1/2 inch barrel for deer hunting here in Missouri. The bucks don't know what hit them when I put one in the boiler room. Never had a lick of a problem with this load for many years now and I shoot a couple hundred...

    Please explain the main advantage or disadvatage of JHP vs SJSP?

    I have killed 9 Missouri bucks and more than twice as many does using my 44 mag handloads with 240 grain XTPs. Not a failure in the bunch. Most shots were at 30 to 75 yards using my Super Redhawk 9 1/2 inch with 4 power Burris scope using 23.5 grains of Win 296. This setup works well for me and...

    Setting my .45 ACP dies

    I flare the case just enough so the bullet will barely manage to sit atop the case without falling off the case as I let go of it to seat it. You don't need to flare much at all.

    44 Mag brass...What gives?

    I shoot about 50 to 75 rounds a month in my Super Redhawk. I shoot 240 gr JHP XTPs over 23.5 grains of Win 296. I hunt whitetail with this load and it serves me well. As for brass it does seem to be hard to get at times for a decent price. I shoot them till they crack which doesn't happen very...

    Primers for H110 or IMR 4227

    I use WLP primers for my 44 mag loads using w296. I have shot thousands of these rounds in all sorts of weather without a single problem. I don't think I need to use a magnum primer when using 23.5 grains even whenii am whitetail hunting in the sometimes very cold mornings here in Missouri.

    Why I don't use Titegroup in the 500

    While I can't comment on the .500 problem with any authority I can tell you that I use Titegroup in my model 945. I have fired many thousands of shots with it without a problem. I find it a very accuraye loading using just 4.4 grains under a 230 grain FMJ round. I will continue to use it in this...

    All in one powder scale and dispenser ?

    I havw a Lyman DPSII and like it a lot. I always set my RCBS 750 scale up next to it and double check every 10 drops or so per batch I am working on, There is a difference of 1/10th of a grain between the two scales at any given time. Once you get a rythm going you can move along at a good clip...

    Which is better for .44 mag? 2400 or H110

    I like W296. I shoot 23.5 grains under a 240gr.XTP out of my Ruger Super Redhawk with 9 1/2 barrel for whitetails here in Missouri. I do not use a magnum primer just WLP primers and have never had a problem even in cold weather. Excellent accuracy and the big bucks don't go far when I put it in...

    Hand held Priming tool

    I have the RCBS hand primer. I only use the hand primer when I am working up a new load or a small number of shells. Usually 50 or less. When I do this I am wanting the utmost in accuracy and double hand weigh each load with my Lyman DPS then double check un the RCBS scale. I agree that I use it...

    44 Mag brass...What gives?

    I shoot 23 grains of W296 under 240 gr XTPs for whitetail hunting out of my scoped 9 1/2 inch Super Redhawk. Does wonders on big bucks here in Missouri. I get multiple loadings out of my cases and usually shoot at least 20-30 rounds a week at the range. Brass is not cheap for sure and most of...

    .44mag velocity question

    I shoot 23 grains of W296 under the 240 XTPs out of my Super Redhawk with a 9 1/2 inch barrel. While I don't have a chrono of these they show no signs of pressure problems using WLP primers. I know one thing they are really accurate and the big Missouri whitetails I shoot with them give up the...

    hunting load opinions for 240gr XTP bullets,or Speer GDHP #4455

    I use the 240 XTP over 23 grains of win 296 and CCI or WLP primers. I do not use the magnum primers and have never had one fail to fire even under very cold conditions. Accuracy is excellent out of my 9 1/2" Super Redhawk. It handles big Missouri whitetails with no problems and they make very...

    Hornady 180gr. JHP 44Mag.

    I have loaded a bunch of 180 XTPs with 15 grains of AA#5. It is very accurate and is easy to shoot from my super redhawk with the 9 1/2 barrel. I load the 240 grain XTP over 23 grains of Win 296 and this is my favorite whitetail load. It is very accurate and does a terrific job on big Misourri...
